Loop Attachment (once again)

Hello people,

Here is a question: I need a macro that will be able to create a new message

and add an attachment per each new message and loop through a folder. The

reason for that is attachments should be of specific size not less or more of

500 KB each and therefore I can't add all of them into one email. And there

will about 50 messages, maybe more later. It will be continuing (at least it

looks like so for now). Anyone can help me with it? Thanks in advance

Dan

PS: At least, if you know any recommendations of where I can find similar

written code.
 
What version of Outlook. This is supposed to run as an Outlook VBA macro?

What do you mean by "loop through a folder"? What kind of folder, loop and

do what?

I don't know what 50 messages has to do with it, what is different about

each of those 50 messages? How do you want the code to handle those 50

messages, is it different for each one? How?

Is this macro supposed to run on demand or automatically?

There are lots of Outlook code samples at www.outlookcode.com, but no one

can be much more specific until you clearly explain what you need and what

you want to accomplish. That's most likely why no one has been answering

your posts, the requirements aren't clearly explained.

Hi Ken,

Sorry about the confusion - I am using MS Outlook 2007. The issue about the

folder and 50 messages, I need to send some files to friend of mine which is

about 50 MB but provider doesn't let emails through that have attachments

that are more 500 KB, therefore I had split them. Now I have 100 files and I

will have to create an email for each file. Like 1st email and attache 1st

file, and then create 2nd email and attach 2nd file and so one until I am

done attaching all 100 files (that is why I called it loop - do until finish

all files in a folder). It is a bit tiresome and that is the reason I had

asked for help! Do you think there is anything available at Outlook

Programming-VBA community?

With best regards

Dan
 
I don't think there's anything specific for something like that, if it was

me and I didn't own a Web site I'd just use one of those public sites where

you can post files for FTP downloads, or something like that. I'd also be

looking for a different ISP, that limitation is absurd.

You can use something like FileSystemObject to get at the folder and all

files in it. Then loop and iterate each file and add it as an attachment to

a mail item. Something like this I suppose, which would require a VBA

project reference for the MS Scripting Runtime (scrrun.dll):

Dim FSO As Scripting.FileSystemObject

Dim tFile As Scripting.File

Dim oFolder As Scripting.Folder

Dim sPath As String

Dim sTemp As String

Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

sPath = "C:\"

Set oFolder = FSO.GetFolder(sPath)

For Each tFile In oFolder.Files

sTemp = sPath & tFile.name

Set oMail = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)

oMail.Subject = "More files"

Set oRecip = oMail.Recipients.Add("joe@test.com")

oRecip.Resolve

oMail.Attachments.Add(sTemp)

oMail.Send

Next

Thanks again, Ken! It worked just perfect. Unfortunately changing ISP would

not help, as the attachment size limitation issue is not in US, the ISP is in

Central Asia, the recipient's provider. And there are not many providers

available either in there. And FTP public sites are not available either.

Anyway, thanks again.

All the best

Dan.
 
signature & picture

Not familar with outlook VBA have used excel & word. Would like to build a

macro that will insert a signature & a picture on one stroke. I use a two

step method now only on forward or reply messages. If i create a new message

it will not allow me to insert signature & picture. Useing 2000 & xp

Any code I can work with will be appreciated.

Thanks

Re: signature & picture

You need to read any replies to you posts and not just keep posting the same

things.

This thread you latched onto has nothing at all to do with your question,

which was already answered in one of your original threads.
